Abstract
Considerable confusion exists regarding the applicability limits of the Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law of optical transmission. We review the derivation of the law and discuss its application to the optical thickness of the light-scattering medium. We demonstrate the range of applicability by presenting a method for determining particle size by measuring optical transmission at two wavelengths.Year: 1999 PMID: 18324104 DOI: 10.1364/ao.38.005887
